When his marathon effort to crack "Penguin Invader's" 100 billion high score limit was twarted by a power failure (one penguin short of success!), something snapped in the young Elvin Atombender's brilliant mind. The world, he resolved, would pay for this gross injustice.

|
|
|
Now an expert in computers and robotics, Elvin is six hours away from invading the launch computers of every major power and triggering a nuclear holocaust. To save civilization you must penetrate Elvin's 32-room underground complex, discover the Control Room password, and stop the warped genius before any launch codes are issued.

Being absent minded, Elvin did write down the password; however he took the precaution of breaking it into pieces now hidden throughout his stronhold (in furniture, candy machines, etc.). Each multi-tiered room is patrolled by laser-armed robots, with lifts providing access to each tier. Fortunately, you are faster and more agile than the robots; and, better still, occassionally discover "snooze codes" which deactivate a room's guardians. In two rooms additional snooze codes may be won by sounding musical notes in the proper sequence.

The game is a nicely executed blend of several successful arcade ideas. The result is an engaging, mini-adventure challenge for thinking stick flippers everywhere
